  Birthdays & Christmas

  what is the deal with people criticizing jws because they don't celebrate birthdays or christmas?.

  it is as if when someone is born, from a baby, to a child, teen, adult; that one has a responsiblity to celebrate christmas (and i thought it was a free country); and others have a responsiblity to celebrate others' anniversary of one's birth.. i don't get the criticisms as if celebrating either is a great thing and the not celebrating is a bad thing.. data on star trek said that he does not understand why people celebrate their birthdays - a day one can not possibly remember.. what are you actually celebrating?

  the fact that you made it another year?

  Data from Startrek? Nerd alert!!!... Just kidding. Im a bit of a Trekkie.

  JW's are criticized because they are soooooooooo unbelievably stupid in most every aspect of their lifes. I would know. Born and raised and out after 28 years. I didn;t know any better until I left.

  You seem bitter. I just celebrated my son's 4th Bday and he LOVED it. It was my first time celebrating anyone's birthday. Lots of gifts and fun. The dumbass JW's want to stand out as different. Thats why no BDays. Theres really no good reason not to celebrate them. What because someone got BEHEADED in the bible we shouldnt celebrate them? What about anniversaries? I understand their reasoning for the other holidays but I don;t agree. We will be celebrating everything from here on. "To each their own..."

  I remember getting the belt or wooden spoon after meetings. I asked my mom a few years ago... "Why did I always get the belt after the meetings?" She said "I don't remember. You were probably just being a normal kid, acting up." Thanks mom. Thats what I get for squirming in my seat? Then she would say "I was a single parent and it was hard"

  From Amazon.com

  Book Description

  Publication Date: November 25, 2008 One woman alone, two children and a mysterious illness with a strange mix of symptoms that never seems to go away, this along with demonic activity in every house they live in all ensuing after becoming Jehovah's Witnesses. What begins as a mother's relentless search for help to cure her ailing son uncovers little by little what turns out to really be a case of demonic possession. This journey unfolds into even more realizations by the discovery of a frightening world that exists around us, and sometimes in us, that is capable of the destruction of lives of the innocent. Even more than that was the discovery of the criminal minds manipulating these worlds to purposely destroy people and families that are targeted for destruction.

  now that my mother has been laid to rest and i have no worries about the jw in the slightist, here is one funny..... in 2006 i obtained conservatorship over mom because she wanted to give all her money to the printing company.

  she had made a pledge of sorts to the "building fund" for $5000.

  well she found some of her old checks that were not attached to any account as i had opened a conservator account.
